ARDMORE, Okla. (KFOR) – Nearly 100 pounds of illegal marijuana was confiscated in Ardmore.
Officers with the Ardmore Police Department say they found 95 pounds of marijuana stuffed inside black trash bags during a traffic stop.
Investigators say the marijuana was headed to the black market.
Officials say the department’s Criminal Interdiction Unit started only a month ago but has already been responsible for several drug seizures.
